AATU for remote use with a 6300
I am about to depoly my 6300 at a second remote site with coax fed antennas (tribander and dipoles). However, I will need an autoATU to cover the band edges of 40/80/160m. This will be a 100W station. Is there a recommended ATU that integrates well with Flex? I think the cheap Chinese ATUs need a button push to tune, and I dont think the LDGs have an interface cable to reduce the power whilst tuning takes place. I could live with the LDG system, but if there is a more failsafe system, then I'd like to use it.
I know LDGs and similar have many memories, but with tree-supported antennas, I have found that things move.
Cheers

The LDG's in Auto mode work fine. I did it on a FLEX-6300 remotely for those times I needed a tuner. I used an LDG-100 I think.
When you want to tune, you hit tune in SmartSDR and you can watch the SWR Change on the Radio meter. When it is tuned, the tuner will automatically stop tuning and you can then take the radio out of tune.
It works very well and is about that simple. The only difference is that the operate has to take the radio out of Tune rather than the tuner taking itself out of tune.
